Excitement is building in New Zealand's capital as the date for the first Hobbit film premiere draws near. Today TORN and Red Carpet Tours announced their Premiere Party to the regular media, and it's made Wellington's Dominion Post news already. Regular readers here are aware of this already, and tickets are selling fast! Bookings can be made through Red Carpet's Party Page

I just delivered a dozen copies of the Hobbit, kindly donated by Harper Collins, to an address Peter Jackson's Miramar empire for he and his team to sign. They'll be prizes to win at our Hobbit Premiere Party. We're raising money for Books in Homes and TheOneRing.net. Harper Collins has also given 188 copies of The Hobbit to Books in Homes, to share round their schools, which is just awesome!
